The location was the best ! we were literally 3 minutes away from aya sofia, blue mosque and grand bazaar. Staff was alright, one receptionist was exceptional however who's name was oktai. He was a very friendly dude and gave us a lot of tips on how to get to the major attractions easily. He also was very fluent in english. The transfer from airport to hotel and back were very good. I was travelling with my family and we stayed in Istanbul on our way back home to Toronto. Because we were in another country with family for two weeks prior we had a LOT of luggage but the transfer van had more than enough room to take us and our 7 suitcases plus 4 hand carries. Over all GREAT hotel, very clean, perfect location with the view of the water and good staff!

This little hotel is conveniently located in Sultanahmed, the old part of the city, and near the metro station Cemberlitas. The staff is very friendly and helpful with anything we needed (directions, airport transfer). The rooms are clean, bright and well maintained. The view from the roof top is magnificent! The breakfast quality is superb and there's coffee and tea facilities in the lobby during the day/night. Overall the hotel is great and I would highly recommend it!

The room was spacious and very clean. The breakfast each morning was plentiful and given the room rate, was excellent value for money. The location couldn't be better for exploring – I was worried it would be noisy, but with the windows closed we had no trouble sleeping at all. The staff was very helpful as well.

The staff was super friendly and professional, especially Oktay the concierge. They allowed us an early check-in which was very nice and gave us a chance to leave our baggage at the hotel before going out. The view is beautiful!

If you want to visit historic old Istanbul this is the area to be. It is a hilly area so hotels located towards the top of the street are better. It is only a short walk from the Hippodrome. The staff are extremely pleasant and keep the hotel is a nice clean state.

A small hotel in a great location and with fantastic views across the Bosphorus. It provides excellent service and is within walking distance of the major old city attractions. Immediately on arriving you are made welcome by Oktay on the front desk, who is always available to offer advice on how best to enjoy your stay in the city. The hotel has good facilities, nice rooms and the breakfast provides an excellent start to the day. y Gary and Kim from Salisbury in the UK

Location was very good, view is fascinating (nice terasse on the roof with wonderfull view over the see), breakfast better than in some european 4* hotels. Staff at the reception was very friendly, especially Mr. Oktay – whom we need to thank once again for his help and care! Rooms are nice (we had 502 with small balcony and very nice view over Bosphorus). The hotel has a lift.

In common with lots of hotels in the area, it is in an excellent location for the Sultanahmet sights. Friendly staff. Rooms adequate and clean.

Kendall from U.S.A., July 28, 2015 at 11:28 pm

A wonderful small hotel with a great location and a personal ambiance. Everyone is very willing to be of assistance helping with everything from calling and directing cabs to loaning luggage scales. Breakfast is European style offering a nice variety of pastries, fruit, cheeses, sliced meat, french toast, etc. We were always satisfied with it, even as we stayed for 2 weeks.

We had had an unfortunate experience with accommodation which we had booked through booking.com, which was appalling and not the apartment which the owner had advertised and which we had agreed to book. We arrived feeling very tired after an overnight flight to Istanbul and were shocked and very disappointed in the apartment. I immediately told the owners' representative (who had let us into the apartment) that we would not accept the accommodation and I emailed booking.com to advise them of this. They emailed me very soon afterwards to acknowledge this information and to say that they had told the owner that they were not to deduct any charges from our credit card – which the owner then acknowledged. We are very grateful that we had booked through booking.com and that they immediately assisted us in making sure that we were not charged. I then found Hotel Daphne on the booking.com site and thankfully they could accommodate us. We arrived at the Hotel in an exhausted state at 1.00pm and the receptionist immediately took us into the guest lounge and served tea and refreshments while we waited for our room to be available. The room was fantastic – large, airy, spotlessly clean and with a wonderful view of the Bosphorous – we were delighted with it. We can not fault a the staff were immensely helpful and courteous, the breakfast was delicious and more than ample even for hungry guests…..the neighbourhood is very safe and friendly – with numerous small restaurants and mini supermarkets close by. It is a very easy 5 minute walk to the main city square where the Blue Mosque, Haggia Sofia, Bascilla Cistern, Topkapi, the tram, bus and Topless Bus stops are situated. We will give Hotel Daphne 10 out of 10 and will definitely stay there again. Kind regards Ken and Colleen Anderson

Cozy atmosphere, rooftop restaurant with view of the sea, breakfast with everything possible: eggs, fruits, cheese, sweets, etc., 5 minute walk to the main sights and the restaurants, yet quiet at night!

Location was great, walking distance to everything in the old town. The staff was wonderful, very helpful in answering all our questions. The view from the room and the roof top was beautiful as well.

Mohammed from United Kingdom, April 23, 2015 at 12:44 pm

The staff were amazing and really helpful! Jimmy is always running around! 🙂 He helped us on the very fist encounter as soon as we arrived when the taxi driver tried to rip us off – usual for Istanbul! Jimmy went out and broke a note for us and got the right change for the taxi driver who was such a miserable git! The location is really close to the blue mosque – 2 minute walk! Hotel is nice and clean. Good view from rooftop! Will stay again and recommend to all!

Sheik from United Kingdom, April 20, 2015 at 10:33 pm

Anna from United Kingdom, April 15, 2015 at 5:37 pm

The hotel was a lovely suprise after a few misses found in Istanbul during our holidays. The room was spacious, very clean and comfortable. The location is excellent-just outside the Blue Mosque. Breakfast was lovely and more than we could ask for. The hotel is certainly an excellent value for the money.

George from Greece, March 25, 2015 at 5:40 pm

Alexander from U.S.A., March 15, 2015 at 2:18 pm

Room is very spacious and the bed is comfortable. We have two adjacent rooms which was perfect for our family of four. Close walking distance to most attractions and the staff is very friendly and helpful with all our needs. I would fully recommend this hotel. I already did!
